I'm so tired of watching everyone around me succeed while I'm still struggling to get my life together. It feels like I'm stuck in neutral while everyone else is speeding ahead.
I see my friends landing their dream jobs, getting married, having kids, and traveling the world. Meanwhile, I'm over here barely scraping by, living paycheck to paycheck, and wondering if I'll ever catch a break.
It's hard not to compare myself to others and feel like I'm just not good enough. Like, what am I doing wrong? Why can't I seem to get my act together?
I know I'm not alone in this feeling, but it's hard to shake off the sense of inadequacy and frustration. I just wish someone would tell me that it's okay to struggle, that it's okay to not have it all figured out.
Because the truth is, social media lies. Nobody posts about their struggles and failures. Nobody talks about the times they felt like giving up. All we see is the highlight reel, and it's just not realistic.
So, to anyone else out there who's struggling, just know that you're not alone. We may not have it all together, but we're in this together. And who knows, maybe someday we'll look back on these struggles and laugh.

i don’t think bullying built my character at all now im just a complete douchebag like those guys. im no better than them
God, no! Of course I don’t want to feel better. Can you fucking imagine? No one’s ever gonna love me like that again. I don’t wanna get over it. I wanna rip the stars to shreds. I don’t wanna feel better.
I have misophonia but for low bass. I can hear the bass of my neighbors music through 4 walls, a fan and two songs playing at the same time. It puts me into a rage. I want them to die, or kill myself it is so bad. because those around me arent bothered by it. I love feeling like im going crazy! I love wishing harm on my neighbors or myself just to make it stop. LOVE IT. LVOE IT LOVE IT
Just disappointed my dad again because of another failure. I hate myself so much. Every cell in me disgusts me. I failed so much stuff in my life.
I really hope for the sake of this child you lose custody because you're doing an awful job
Nothing I do is ever good enough for her my dog has been coughing and hacking all goddamn day and I couldnt find out why so I figured she needed to drink water due to the heat we dont have air conditioning Ive been up since 8pm last night and by 12pm in the afternoon three hours ago I felt so exhausted I couldnt keep my eyes open after watching her from 4am to then I figured since she was sleeping right fucking next to me that it would be fine if I slept Turns out she threw up when I was asleep and woke up to my mom screaming in my fucking ear about how Im so lazy and that I dont give a fuck about her I dont put up with my paranoia surrounding her every day my anxiety my depression or even my fucking episodes where I think shes gonna die if she breathes wrong just for my mom to tell me I dont care I care more about my baby more than I can put into words and my exhaustion would never change that But Im just not good enough for her because I thought I could take a nap three hours before shed get home knowing my dog can sleep five hours at a time But Im the dipshit right Im so fucking sick of getting ridiculed over every single thing I do no fucking wonder Im so paranoid about everything if she wont even let me function like a human being without accusing me of shit Yet she wonders why Im so fucked in the head
This whole experience with that ass wipe Harsh Pandya at Mentoring Minds was a total disaster a new low in my therapy journey I went in a 21-year-old laid it all out there childhood trauma intergenerational pain relationship betrayal even my passive suicidal thoughts My home life with a father who spews rape culture and disrespects every womans boundary I told him everything stuff Id never dared to say out loud before And what did this supposed trauma-informed ass wipe do He completely utterly dismissed it Didnt touch any of the core issues Instead I got gems like You shouldnt carry your parents baggage And get this about my father Your father is just removing his frustration Just listen to it Are you kidding me Then hes asking about my next boyfriend telling me to have a plan B for my career and randomly blurting out You have FOMO Seriously no connection to anything But the absolute worst part I told this ass wipe about my suicidal thoughts my dependence on melatonin just to sleep my body image and binge eating issues He just blew past it all handing me some generic homework like listing goals while I was literally breaking down right in front of him And the unprofessionalism He couldnt even remember the homework hed given me five minutes earlier then gave me something different when I asked He mixed up basic details confusing my father with my mother And he kept himself muted most of the session like he was just waiting for the clock to run out This wasnt therapy this was gaslighting in the name of mental health care I walked out of that session feeling more broken more dismissed and more hopeless than I have in a long time Its not even my first bad experience Ive had therapists tell me to just accept my trauma or shut off emotionally But this ass wipe He made me feel invisible while I was screaming internally for help Please if youre out there dealing with complex trauma do NOT settle for a therapist who makes you feel smaller Price doesnt always mean quality but empathy is non-negotiable Im still trying to find someone ethical and safe who I can actually afford But I needed to get this out there if youve ever been made to feel too much in therapy or like your pain is just a footnote its not your fault Therapy should feel like safety not shame And that guy Hes nothing but an ass wipe
